After the fireworks show ended, Li Ke and the others moved to a box with a better location.
The difference between the Huiyue Grand Theater and the Huiyue Theater that was renovated from the Huiyue Building in Chang'an City is that the Huiyue Grand Theater was built completely in accordance with the theater model, taking into account the relevant laws of sound propagation from the beginning of construction. .
Its sound reception and other aspects are naturally more perfect. In addition, this theater is the only one in the entire Datang Evernight City that uses other electrical appliances, namely speakers.
After waiting here for about half an hour, the premiere of "Ghost Town" officially started!
The difference from the previous one is that this time there is a lot more music, and because it is a new venue, there are more mechanisms under the stage, but these mechanisms are all mechanical and the response is a bit slow.
But it doesn’t matter. As the first wave of audiences in the world to appreciate stage plays, stage plays are still a new industry. Everyone has enough tolerance for it. Naturally, if you haven’t been exposed to it, you won’t think there is anything wrong.
The story of "Ghost City" is actually very simple. Li Ke's inspiration came from the Anxi Army in later generations of the Tang Dynasty. "The whole city is full of white hair, but the Mo Dao will not be lost." "A lonely city thousands of miles away is full of white-haired soldiers."
The story of the ghost town unfolds from the perspective of a caravan manager. In the vast Western Region, on the Silk Road, there is an abandoned city, Yangcheng.
There is a legend of a ghost town spread here in the Western Regions. It is said that there are lonely and wild ghosts that cannibalize people every night. The city is dozens of miles away and is filled with yellow sand, without a single living creature.
Naturally, the caravan manager also knew this legend. On their way to the Western Regions, they suddenly encountered a huge sandstorm. The yellow sand in the sky could swallow up everyone and their goods. In order to avoid the yellow sand, they had to temporarily adjust their direction and step into the desert. The vast Gobi desert.
When the yellow sand hit, they lost their way and accidentally stepped into this abandoned city.
This place is far away from commercial roads. Fortunately, the wells in the city still have water, and there is not much yellow sand in the city, which makes them feel a little strange.
But no matter what, they can only choose to rest here.
At night, the whole city suddenly changed. Countless shouts of death rang out. The caravan shopkeepers were frightened, thinking they had encountered a ghost town. But what shocked them was that what they encountered was actually from the Central Plains. Soldier.
They were still wearing the armor of the former Sui Dynasty and holding swords and guns in their hands. After seeing them, the other party did not make things difficult for them. Instead, they told them to hide quickly, saying that the Turks were coming to kill them.
For a moment, the confused caravan thought it was really a war between soldiers and Turks, and they could only help defend the city here.
Throughout the night, the caravan manager witnessed the fall of the Central Plains soldiers one after another. They ranged from forty to teenage boys, until the fish belly white appeared in the east.
Only then did the Turks' offensive retreat.
The caravan manager approached two injured soldiers, an old one and a young one, and then he heard the younger one asking the older veteran.
"Captain, do you think the sun is farther away or Chang'an is farther away?"
"Damn it, of course the sun is farther away, it's in the sky."
"Then captain, why do you say you look up to see the sun, but you can't see Chang'an?"
The conversation ended there, because as daylight dawned, the soldiers who had fought all night just disappeared in front of them all. When the sun rose, what appeared in front of them was still the abandoned city.
It seemed that nothing around him had changed, and everything seemed to be in shock.
The caravan manager and the team members were all frightened. They replenished their drinking water and quickly evacuated the abandoned city.
But for some reason, when he left, the shopkeeper always felt that he had left something behind.
A year later, the caravan manager returned here again with a large amount of gold and silver treasures earned from distant lands. When he passed by the abandoned city, he didn't know why, but he thought of that. night.
What should have been an extremely terrifying thing was not at all scary to him at this moment. It happened that the guide of the caravan said that there would be a storm tomorrow and it was best to find a resting place.
The caravan manager told the location, and finally he defied all opinions and took people back to the city.
The city is still the same, as if nothing has changed in the past year.
But when night fell, the caravan members who had been mentally prepared saw that shocking scene again, and the exact same scene returned to them again.
They are still soldiers fighting hard, they seem to be fighting day after day without fatigue or hard work.
At this moment, the caravan manager burst into tears. He understood that these soldiers were all soldiers who died in battle, but after their death, they became heroic spirits. Their responsibility to protect the Central Plains has never been forgotten in their bones. Even after they died, they He has always kept fighting.
Even the Turkic ghosts who fought with them were actually ghosts formed by their influence.
When the familiar conversation between the old man and the young man rang out again, everything around him was shattered like a dream.
Everyone in the caravan was shocked, and they all understood a lot. They were not harmed in one night, but soldiers came to tell them to hide and pay attention to safety.
Even though they wear the armor of the previous dynasty, they never dare to forget their responsibilities.
The caravan manager was a little crazy. He wanted to change this situation. He wanted the spirits of these veterans to rest in peace instead of repeating this day after day.
You must know that this city was destroyed into ruins and decades have passed!
They're just here all the time, going on and on and on and on.
The caravan manager convinced everyone to stay here for a few days. During the night, they tried various methods to try to change the situation of these heroic spirits, but to no avail. The changes they made during the night, everything remained the same the next day.
Finally, the caravan manager was ready to go back. He returned to the nearest city of the Tang Dynasty, and then invited famous eminent monks and Taoist priests to come here to perform rituals in an attempt to comfort the spirits and tell them that the war was over and that the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful. Please rest in peace.
But everything is in vain, it seems that their obsession before death has been completely integrated into this land, and they stubbornly guard everything here.
Finally, the caravan manager suddenly heard that the Tang Dynasty wanted to build a new city here. The caravan manager suddenly had an idea. He spent all his financial resources to meet with the General of the Tang Dynasty who had the power to make the decision, and then told this story to the great Tang general. General Tang.
The General of the Tang Dynasty was moved when he heard this, and he decided to personally lead his army to restart this abandoned city!
When the army of the Tang Dynasty arrived, everything happened at night as promised. All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty "witnessed" this scene and witnessed these soldiers who had been dead for decades fighting for the country.
On the second day, the General of the Tang Dynasty comforted all the heroes stationed in the city with the highest military courtesy: "The army of the Tang Dynasty is coming! The army of the Central Plains Dynasty is coming! The Turks have been defeated!"
Tell those ancestors and martyrs who sacrificed their lives: "This prosperous age is as you wish!"
After the Tang Dynasty's military flag fluttered in this city, the heroic spirit here never appeared again! What followed was a cleanup of the remains of a total of 1,132 martyrs found in the city.
The caravan manager told General Datang that this was what they "saw" at night, all the garrison troops stationed in the city!
